Nice Acropolis is situated in the very heart of Nice, just a short walk from the baie des Anges. It is one of the most efficiently designed and run places for events in the world. The conference and exhibition centre is devoted to the art of hosting events and, with its blend of materials, the result is decidedly modern.

GL EVENTS VENUES WORLD FORUM

The subtile combination of the largest auditorium in Holland and a variety of different-sized meeting rooms make it the ideal place for corporate events as well as high-level international conferences.

OUR COMMITMENTS

Four years ago, the GL events Group launched a group-wide sustainable development initiative, and today it has a specific department in this field reporting to the Group's Vice-Chairman. GL events' environmental programme "Think Green" is built on 16 commitments covering the entire event life-cycle. Today, this has led to the implementation of associated initiatives: "Think People" concerning labour and social issues and "Think Local" concerning the societal aspect of sustainable development.

As part of the Think Green programme, GL events Venues launched an ISO 14001 certification* process for all its venues in France; the certification was obtained in 2012, making GL events the first event venue network to be certified on such a scale according to this standard. This initiative has translated into the implementation of actions and processes addressing key issues, such as waste management and energy saving, based on a policy of continuous improvement. The Barcelona International Convention Centre has double certification, ISO 14001 and EMAS**, and the World Forum in The Hague has the Green Key label.

We would also like to point out that any new venue joining the GL events Venues network must go through this certification process. For example, in 2013, the Maison de la Mutualité, La Sucière and the Nice Acropolis launched their certification processes.As regards the labour and social component, GL events Venues draws on the Think People programme, deployed throughout the Group. The programme is co-managed by the Human Resources Department and addresses three main issues: diversity (disability, gender, age, social integration), well-being in the work place and career management. The safety of employees and the public is a major priority for GL events Venues. In order to guarantee everyone's safety in our venues, the requisite human and technical resources are implemented through strict procedures and with qualified personnel, coordinated through a dedicated network.

Aware of its territorial, economic, social and societal impact, GL events has decided to evaluate the effects of its activities on the local environment. The aim of the "Think Local" programme is to carry out research into the value (in the broadest sense) created in every region or area in which the Group has venues and operations. Within the framework of our venue management business, we work closely with local authorities and different regional stakeholders, since Exhibition Parks and Convention Centres are powerful economic development tools as well as focal points for events in cities.
